Dear Sweet Christian, [/background][background=rgb(255, 255, 255)]

Would you join an attempt to assassinate a political leader hell bent on destroying your country?[/background][background=rgb(255, 255, 255)]

It was a dark, confusing time. Everyone knew it spelled the end for the Father Land. Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 with a vicious assault on civilians massacring thousands. Resistance forces formed in German to assassinate Hitler—the Devil’s tool. Generals, diplomats, and many government workers were in on the plots.[/background][background=rgb(255, 255, 255)]

Emmi, an active member of the resistance against their insane leader said to her famous Christian brother, Dietrich, “You Christians are glad when someone else does what you know must be done, . . but it seems that somehow you are unwilling to get your own hands dirty and do it.”[/background][background=rgb(255, 255, 255)]

Deeply impacted by his sister’s criticism, Dietrich wrote about his Bible-believing church, “We were resisting by way of confession, but we were not confessing by way of resistance.” He concluded, “To be an ethereal figure who merely talked about God, but somehow refused to get his hands dirty in the real world in which God had placed him, was bad theology.”[/background][background=rgb(255, 255, 255)]

Arguably one of Europe’s greatest and most lovable theologian, Dietrick Bonhoeffer gave up his personal righteousness and would get his hands dirty in the plot to assassinate Germany’s madman Fuehrer. Why? Because God was speaking to him about “further steps of obedience” to Christ.[/background][background=rgb(255, 255, 255)]

"Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die): Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You, And say, “Who is the Lord?” Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God."
[Prov. 30:7-9, Bible, NKJV]
